| Nail ridges can be an annoying nail problem
for otherwise perfect nails. Once they first
appear, it can be very difficult if not
impossible to get rid of them. We are born with
smooth nails, but over time, faint ridges can
appear; and in later years they can become more
pronounced. Nail ridges run the length of nails
or across them and, if you are really unlucky, in
both directions. The vertical ridges are
typically the result of poor diet or aging;
whereas horizontal ridges more commonly are found
after frequently wearing nail products such as
nail polish. Either the chemicals in nail polish
or nail polish remover can be too strong for a
sensitive nail bed and leave a slight scaring or
ridge.
Orly, one of the leading nail polish and nail
treatment companies, offers a temporary solution
to the chronic problem of nail ridges.
Ridgefiller, as its name suggests, fills nail
ridges. It comes in a bottle of the same shape
and size as all Orly nail polishes; and you apply
it just like regular nail polish. Depending on
how deep your nail ridges are, you can expect to
apply two to four coats of Ridgefiller before all
your ridges are completely filled.
This product was not as thick as you might
expect to quickly fill in ridges--ideally one
coat would fill all ridges. But it went on
smoothly without streaking and dried quickly
leaving a smooth finish, just as you would
expect.
It looks milky white and it's about as viscous
as milk. You can apply a fairly generous amount
in one coat to get full, even coverage of each
nail without getting bubbles. It is a good
basecoat and nail polish applied on top of
Ridgefiller was perfectly smooth.
If you can't get Ridgefiller, a simple
solution to the ridge problem is just apply more
nail polish. Two extra coats of regular polish or
four coats of thin polish may be enough to
completely hide ridges--and you'll also get the
bonus of completely even, perfectly smooth nails.
Unfortunately, this product really isn't any more
thick than most regular nail polishes, so it may
seem like a gimmick.
Orly Ridgefiller is available online at many
internet beauty stores.
